New Release: The Gorilla Guide to…® Stopping the Misdelivery of Sensitive Emails!
An enormous number of cyberattacks—whether ransomware or stolen credentials or injected malware—start with an email breach. A technology more than 40 years old, email exposes organizations to huge vulnerabilities that become more and more obvious as our digital environment grows in complexity and sophistication.
Stopping the Misdelivery of Sensitive Emails pinpoints a key weakness of email: when a file full of corporate secrets or private information is sent, all the company’s authentication and access rules fall away. An attacker who can persuade an employee to send a sensitive file has full access to its contents.
In addition, many mailers (not just Outlook, the focus of this report) use autocomplete to insert the email address they think you want after you type a couple of characters. Email is often sent to the wrong “John” (see Figure 1), with results ranging from embarrassment to an expensive violation of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Catching all these problems is complex, because any tool that intervenes must recognize what is sensitive (such as personal data), and then whether the email is going to an email address not authorized to get that data. Stopping the Misdelivery of Sensitive Emails alerts you to what makes email vulnerable and how VIPRE SafeSend addresses the risks.
